Cluster node data

You can retrieve information about individual nodes in a Weaviate cluster. The query can be for the entire cluster, or for a particular collection.

Parameters

NameLocationTypeDescription
outputbodystringHow much information to include in the output. Options: minimal (default) and verbose (includes shard information).

Returned data:

The nodes endpoint returns an array of nodes. The nodes have the following fields:

  • name: Name of the node.
  • status: Status of the node (one of: HEALTHY, UNHEALTHY, UNAVAILABLE, INDEXING).
  • version: Version of Weaviate running on the node.
  • gitHash: Short git hash of the latest commit of Weaviate running on the node.
  • stats: Statistics for the node.
    • shardCount: Total number of shards on the node.
    • objectCount Total number of indexed objects on the node.
  • shards: Array of shard statistics. To see shards details, set output == verbose.
    • name: Name of the shard.
    • class: Name of the collection stored on the shard.
    • objectCount: Number of indexed objects on the shard.
    • vectorQueueLength: Number of objects waiting to be indexed on the shard. (Available starting in Weaviate 1.22 when ASYNC_INDEXING is enabled.)

Example

The following command will retrieve summary information about all nodes in the cluster:

import weaviate

client = weaviate.connect_to_local()

nodes_info = client.cluster.nodes(
collection="JeopardyQuestion", # If omitted, all collections will be returned
output="verbose" # If omitted, will be "minimal"
)
print(nodes_info)

finally:
client.close()
